One of them, the Piano Quintet in A Minor, forms the centerpiece of these two shows by the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble. Pairing Price’s quintet with a piece by American composer David Sanford, as well as new works seeing their world premieres, the performances should open new possibilities in classical music, both past and future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13958050\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/KronosQuartet2_creditLennyGonzalez.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"689\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13958050\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/KronosQuartet2_creditLennyGonzalez.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/KronosQuartet2_creditLennyGonzalez-800x459.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/KronosQuartet2_creditLennyGonzalez-1020x586.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/KronosQuartet2_creditLennyGonzalez-160x92.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/KronosQuartet2_creditLennyGonzalez-768x441.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kronos Quartet. \u003ccite>(Lenny Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://kronosquartet.org/kronos-festival-2024/\">Kronos Festival 2024\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>June 20–23, 2024\u003cbr>\nSFJAZZ Center, San Francisco\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a new era for the venerable, ever-searching Kronos Quartet: violinist John Sherba and violist Hank Dutt are retiring after 46 years with the group.

In protagonist Yara’s journey, Palestinian American author Etaf Rum packs a plethora of thoughtful reflections on mental health, intersectional feminism and a sheltered upbringing in an immigrant community. This novel felt frustrating to read at times, but I don’t think that was accidental: It merely mirrors real-life experiences of women in Yara’s position. Excerpts from Yara’s journal are a nice touch that the author uses to detangle the character’s upbringing and her relationship with her family over time. This is a powerful story told by a brilliant voice; I’ll be keeping a close eye on Rum from now on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957978\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1245px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/paul-takes-the-form-of-a-mortal-girl-2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957978\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/paul-takes-the-form-of-a-mortal-girl-2.jpg\" alt=\"a dark pink book cover with the title 'Paul takes the form of a mortal girl'\" width=\"1245\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/paul-takes-the-form-of-a-mortal-girl-2.jpg 1245w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/paul-takes-the-form-of-a-mortal-girl-2-800x1234.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/paul-takes-the-form-of-a-mortal-girl-2-1020x1573.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/paul-takes-the-form-of-a-mortal-girl-2-160x247.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/paul-takes-the-form-of-a-mortal-girl-2-768x1184.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/paul-takes-the-form-of-a-mortal-girl-2-996x1536.jpg 996w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1245px) 100vw, 1245px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl,’ by Andrea Lawlor. \u003ccite>(Penguin Random House)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>If you want to get double-takes from your fellow BART riders\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl \u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003cstrong>by Andrea Lawlor (2017)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are three quotes on the cover of this book: “Tight,” “Deep” and “Hot.” Sure, it gets steamy here and there, but it’s much more than what a quick glance at the cover might lead strangers to believe. The protagonist, Paul, has a secret superpower — the ability to control his physical appearance at will. This is an invigorating read about gender, and how Paul, who exists beyond the traditional binary, experiences it, with a journey that includes a lesbian relationship in which he becomes “Polly.” The latter part of the novel leads Paul to 1990’s San Francisco, where he continues to explore sexuality and intimacy. The author, who identifies as nonbinary, masterfully depicts both a path to self-discovery and the beauty of San Francisco in the final few pages.

Clinton pushed Afrofuturism forward — so much so that P-Funk’s spaceship stage prop has been immortalized in the Smithsonian.

Day two, with OG garage punks The Mummies headlining, leans into hip-hop culture with a DJ set from 808 mastermind Egyptian Lover and the queen of New Orleans bounce, Big Freedia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957500\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957500\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/GettyImages-1898396915.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"779\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/GettyImages-1898396915.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/GettyImages-1898396915-800x609.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/GettyImages-1898396915-1020x776.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/GettyImages-1898396915-160x122.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/GettyImages-1898396915-768x584.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tyla performs during the Times Square New Year’s Eve 2024 Celebration on December 31, 2023 in New York City. \u003ccite>(Noam Galai/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://sfoutsidelands.com/\">Outside Lands\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Aug. 9–11, 2024\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Golden Gate Park, San Francisco\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Single-day GA: $199+, three-day pass: $449+\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can thank Beyoncé for the fact that Outside Lands is more country than ever this year: Post Malone and Shaboozey, both featured on Beyoncé’s \u003ci>Cowboy Carter\u003c/i>, are performing, and country hitmaker Sturgill Simpson is a headliner alongside Tyler, the Creator and the Killers.

Clinton pushed Afrofuturism forward — so much so that P-Funk’s spaceship stage prop has been immortalized in the Smithsonian.

But the boba drinks were so wildly popular, they quickly overshadowed all of the shop’s higher-end offerings. More than probably any other Bay Area boba shop, the focus at \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/ashateahouse/?hl=en\">Asha\u003c/a> rests squarely on the quality of the tea itself rather than on any bells and whistles. All of my favorites have been on the menu from day one: the potent, condensed milk–sweetened Hong Kong milk tea, which is delicious hot or cold, with or without boba. Or any of the seasonal fruit teas, which rely on no artificial flavorings. Instead, they’re just pure tea, supplemented with one of Asha’s pulpy housemade fruit purees. When available, the strawberry black tea and the Asian pear oolong are especially elite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957738\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957738\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/dek-doi-mango.jpg\" alt=\"A mango smoothie topped with whipped cream.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/dek-doi-mango.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/dek-doi-mango-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/dek-doi-mango-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/dek-doi-mango-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/dek-doi-mango-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/dek-doi-mango-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dek Doi sells standard boba drinks, but its boba-adjacent Thai beverages — like the “Mango Sunset” — are where the Piedmont Avenue shop really shines. \u003ccite>(Luke Tsai/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Dek Doi Cafe\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>4125 Piedmont Ave., Oakland\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a testament to the beverage’s mainstream universal appeal these days that this little Thai cafe has a whole section of its menu dedicated to boba, which doesn’t have any traditional roots in Thailand.

This version comes topped with whipped cream and crispy mung beans.

Teaspoon’s offerings tend toward sweet and aesthetically pleasing, with creative flavor combinations that only occasionally veer into stunt beverage territory (there’s a line of Red Bull boba drinks??). They’re also undeniably tasty: The creamy, caramelly Black Sugar Assam is a well-executed take on the black sugar boba trend.

A boba shop serving tea that doesn’t taste good on its own would never survive in Taiwan (or any serious tea-drinking country). And so the highest praise I can give to \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/tptea.california/\">TP Tea\u003c/a> is that it’s the kind of boba shop where you can order the most basic-sounding tea (say, the “Signature Black Tea”) with minimal (30%) sugar added and no toppings whatsoever — and the drink will taste good as hell.

But the boba drinks were so wildly popular, they quickly overshadowed all of the shop’s higher-end offerings. More than probably any other Bay Area boba shop, the focus at \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/ashateahouse/?hl=en\">Asha\u003c/a> rests squarely on the quality of the tea itself rather than on any bells and whistles. All of my favorites have been on the menu from day one: the potent, condensed milk–sweetened Hong Kong milk tea, which is delicious hot or cold, with or without boba. Or any of the seasonal fruit teas, which rely on no artificial flavorings. Instead, they’re just pure tea, supplemented with one of Asha’s pulpy housemade fruit purees. When available, the strawberry black tea and the Asian pear oolong are especially elite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957738\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957738\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/dek-doi-mango.jpg\" alt=\"A mango smoothie topped with whipped cream.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/dek-doi-mango.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/dek-doi-mango-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/dek-doi-mango-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/dek-doi-mango-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/dek-doi-mango-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/dek-doi-mango-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dek Doi sells standard boba drinks, but its boba-adjacent Thai beverages — like the “Mango Sunset” — are where the Piedmont Avenue shop really shines. \u003ccite>(Luke Tsai/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003cb>Dek Doi Cafe\u003c/b>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>4125 Piedmont Ave., Oakland\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a testament to the beverage’s mainstream universal appeal these days that this little Thai cafe has a whole section of its menu dedicated to boba, which doesn’t have any traditional roots in Thailand.

This version comes topped with whipped cream and crispy mung beans.

Alongside poignant Holocaust documentaries and comedies about American Jewish life and history, the festival has presented countless dramas and documentaries critical of Israeli policies toward, and treatment of, the Palestinians — the vast majority made by Israeli filmmakers (and funded, at least in part, by the government). The challenge of compiling a program that creates spaces for dialogue and debate is especially daunting this year, especially as the festival could be a flashpoint for demonstrations. When cinema collides with the real world, opportunity knocks.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/WojIv-PVYm8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/WojIv-PVYm8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch2>‘Harold and the Purple Crayon’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Aug. 2, 2024\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1955, the cartoonist and painter Crockett Johnson published the first of seven children’s books starring little Harold. It was made into an animated short a couple years later, and joined by two subsequent shorts in the ’70s. HBO aired a 13-episode series in 2001 narrated by Sharon Stone (with music by Van Dyke Parks). Harold’s all grown up now (and played by Zachary Levi) in this feature written by \u003cem>Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Slumberland\u003c/em> scribes David Guion and Michael Handelman, providing the hook for dads to take their kids to the multiplex. Hollywood’s M.O., may I remind you, is wowing wee ones with whiz-bang special effects and boom-bang soundtracks. Johnson’s books adeptly express the enchantment of imagination and creativity with just a few purple lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13957435\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/borderlands-feature-still005rc-c2-crop_2000.jpg\" alt=\"Group of people seen from within a tube, looking up at sky\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13957435\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/borderlands-feature-still005rc-c2-crop_2000.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/borderlands-feature-still005rc-c2-crop_2000-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/borderlands-feature-still005rc-c2-crop_2000-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/borderlands-feature-still005rc-c2-crop_2000-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/borderlands-feature-still005rc-c2-crop_2000-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/borderlands-feature-still005rc-c2-crop_2000-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/borderlands-feature-still005rc-c2-crop_2000-1920x1080.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cate Blanchett, Ariana Greenblatt, Kevin Hart, Florian Munteanu and Jamie Lee Curtis in ‘Borderlands.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Lionsgate)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘Borderlands’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>Aug. 9, 2024\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I never imagined I would put Greatest Living Screen Actress Cate Blanchett (\u003cem>Elizabeth\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Tár\u003c/em>) and garage-band horrormeister Eli Roth (\u003cem>Cabin Fever\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Thanksgiving\u003c/em>) in the same paragraph, let alone the same sentence.
